“Starstruck,” a new reality format which sees contestants transform into some of the world’s biggest music icons is one of Banijay’s highlights at Singapore’s Asia TV Forum and Market. “This format has been commissioned globally more than ever due to the nature of the show: the remote islands and isolation lend themselves very easily to a socially distanced world and ensures that the shoot locations are safe,” says Bajpai. “On the formats side, big branded shows with proven sponsorship potential that can be shot in controlled environments - such as ‘MasterChef’ and ‘ Big Brother’ - and small to medium-scale humorous gameshows with easy to understand game-play like ‘First and Last,’ also do well,” Bajpai added.Īfter the success of the Tamil-language “Survivor,” hosted by film star Arjun Sarja, in India, Banijay is in discussions to produce more versions.
